THE FROCKY HORROR SHOW
VILLANELLE’S back in lurid bubblegum pink, as well as back on the sofa, after famously wearing that Molly Goddard-designed oversized extravaganza of a chiffon dress on the psychoanalyst’s couch in series one.
But this time her outfit is more camp cartoon than fashion fetish. She’s sporting a dirndl made from scratch, accessorised with a pig’s mask that Mitchell designed.
Unsurprisingly, in a costume like this, she’s about to kill. Mitchell’s brief was to make the outfit as cute as possible ‘as what she’s doing is quite grotesque’. She adds: ‘The whole thing became a Japanese Manga cartoon. When something is so cute it can be terrifying, it’s disconcerting.’
